"Anonymous XXX" lyrics

Garbage Lyrics

"Anonymous XXX"

Hmm, ah
Hmm, ah
Hmm, ah
Hmm, ah
Hmm, ah
Hmm, ah

Love is pain, pain is love
Love is immortal, love is God
Hope is eternal, eternal life
Halfway in is halfway nice

She tastes like danger, tastes of fun
She tastes like smoke and blackberries
She takes her clothes off, you start to cry
You think you've found a way to change your life

Dress it up, dress you down
You chase anonymous sex
Dress it up, dress you down
You chase anonymous

I'll be your one and only (You chase anonymous)
I'll be your one and only (You chase anonymous)
I'll be your one and only (You chase anonymous)
I'll be your one and only one
Hmm, ah
Hmm, ah
Hmm, ah
Hmm, ah

Don't tell me your name, I don't want to know (Hmm, ah)
Don't come too close, I don't want you to (Hmm, ah)
Don't take off your mask, don't turn around
And don't touch my face 'cause I don't want you to
Don't tell me your name

Dress it up, dress you down
You chase anonymous sex
Dress it up, dress you down
You chase anonymous

Don't tell me your name, I don't want to know
Don't come too close, I don't want you to
Don't take off your mask, don't turn around
And don't touch my face, I don't want you to
Don't tell me your name

Dress it up, dress you down
You chase anonymous sex
Dress it up, dress you down
You chase anonymous

I'll be your one and only
I'll be your one and only
I'll be your one and only
I'll be your one and only one
Hmm, ah
Hmm, ah
Hmm

Shirley Manson of Garbage explained to Apple Music the story behind "Anonymous XXX", "The idea of danger in music seems to have been almost eradicated entirely, certainly in mainstream pop music. We were obsessing over Andy Mackay’s sax sound, and so we wrote a song using a synth sax. I wanted to write about this idea of anonymous sex. I find it so fascinating. What attracts us to having sex with people we don’t know? And why do we project all our longing onto these kinds of dalliances? It was that fascination with the hidden and the secrets and the self-deception."
